Riverbanks Zoo Launches Capital Campaign for Major Expansion
What happened
Riverbanks Zoo and Garden has initiated a capital campaign to complete phase two of its 'Bridge to the Wild' project, a major expansion of its facilities. The project, which has already secured nearly $140 million in funding, is seeking an additional $5 million in philanthropic support to finish the expansion. Phase two will add new immersive animal habitats, accessible pathways, and a riverside restaurant overlooking the Lower Saluda River.

Why it matters
The expansion represents a significant investment in the zoo's infrastructure and guest experiences, building on the success of the Saluda Skyride which opened in 2025. The addition of dining facilities and new habitats is expected to enhance visitor engagement and support conservation efforts.
